The QASP™ must always maintain supervision by a licensed or certified professional within the scope of ABA. The QASP™ does not require supervision if the QASP™ is currently licensed under another professional state board. This may include, for example, licensed psychologists, social workers, behavior analysts and marriage family therapists.

Ongoing supervision and continuing education are required for annual renewal of credential and the re-credentialing every three years.
